Recommend me a bra please

I'm really struggling in this hot weather with under boob sweat. I'm middle aged and overweight with big boobs. (Bra size 40DD)

Can you recommend a really comfortable 100% cotton bra - preferably without underwires.

I've just seen the booborbust measuring thread so I'm also going to make sure I get the correct size!

No. I have spent months trying to sort this problem, and the only one that came anywhere near being wearable was a pull- on light sports bra from New Look. It's not very supportive but at least contains everything.
They didn't have them in stock in my local store when I looked yesterday, this was last year's.
The next best was a crop top type thing from TKMaxx , it's a brand called Marilyn Monroe. Not supportive but reasonably comfortable.
When it's not as hot as this, M& S do cotton wire free bras in large sizes, slightly more supportive, but the band is annoy ing on me. I found putting cotton wool pads under the band helped a bit.
I've tried millions of sports type bras but they are all quite thick fabric wise.
Nothing really works for me 38E in this weather.
If you find a solution please share, I'm desperate!

I've just got some wire free ones from m and s 34g and 36f, so decent sizes.comfy and fairly supportive, wouldn't run in them and don't push them up like underwires do but wore them all day at work and wasn't desperate to whip them off halfway through the day! Will.see if I can post a link

Thanks swapsicles - I'll check out M&S

I've just got an M & S FlexFit bra to try, and it's really comfortable - microfibre, not cotton, but it wicks moisture away and I don't end up all sweaty underneath it. It's non-underwired but supportive. The comfiest bra I've had in years and I'm going to buy some more. It's not "pretty" though.

I use antiperspirant under my boobs, it really helps
